Charlie Troman has been wonderfully busy working for lots of new and existing clients. With experience and efficient production from his agency, he continues to deliver projects on budget and on brief.

Charlie has been shooting lifestyle projects for Telecom clients with a modern and fresh approach. He has a superb eye for using natural light and capturing that "life moment".

Shooting from a very young age with his career going back some 20 years, Charlie started out as a still life photographer. It is from this discipline that he developed his understanding of light and it's interaction with form, and this is very much reflected in his portrait work. He draws a lot of inspiration from classical art which can be seen in his approach to lighting and narrative in his portrait portfolio.

"The big change for the studio in the last year has been the inclusion of HD video to our stills facilities," says Chris Holland.

"Alongside my normal stills work, video operator Cameron Wheels and I have combined nearly 10 campaigns with video in the last year. This has been very cost effective as a lot of footage can be shot on stills days, maximising travel, location, crew and artists' costs. We have shot several treatments for Southern Europe in Spain as well as UK locations and fly aways. The relative compactness and lightweight of Full Frame HD cameras allows ease of travel and set-up time. Editing has been in-house by Matt Bayley.

"The studio also offers two shooting areas and still life photographer Adrian Lyon works with me. This means we can shoot product and main shots on the same day, therefore maximising client time. We are also very experienced in stills retouching."

Christian Brodack is a Hamburg-based photographer who specialises in authentic people and lifestyle images. His emotional work shows a lust for life through his ability to capture the fun and joy of everyone involved in a shoot.

After completing his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Art Center College of Design, David Hanover relocated to New York City to continue with his apprenticeship. After weighing a number of associate offers, he returned home to Los Angeles to build the foundation of his career in photography.

In the two years that followed, David continued his apprenticeship with Richard Noble in advertising and Peter Lindberg in fashion. Shortly thereafter, David had the foresight to create one of first celebrity-oriented rental studios in Los Angeles, The LA Lofts.

Photography being his lifelong passion, David turned his focus away from managing the studio to get back behind the camera. He landed his first national campaign with LA Gear, effectively launching his career in advertising. The campaign was a great success, capturing the attention of many, including Tony Stone who recruited David as a photographer to help build his initial image library.

Helping to establish what quickly became the # 1 stock collection in the world, David has since shot his way across the globe for several Fortune 500 companies in advertising, fashion and the corporate arenas.
